I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at IKEA (Frisco, TX) in Mar 2011
Interview
I applied for the position online on the IKEA website. I was then contacted by phone for a phone interview. After the phone interview, we set up an interview at the store. My interview went very smoothly. I met with an employee in HR, and two managers, one who was managing the department I was applying for. They were all very friendly and welcoming.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It's hard to remember, but I believe that a difficult question that I was asked was what I expected to accomplish in this job. At IKEA, people move up the ladder, and there are many positions available to contribute to at this company. I am a student working towards a degree, so I didn't think I would be working there for long, but for someone who sees this as a career, it's very tangible and lucrative as long as you work hard and take all of the training classes offered.
I applied through college or university. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at IKEA (Pittsburgh, PA) in Apr 2009
Interview
The process was not very long for me, but I have had other co workers say that it is a long process that can sometimes take weeks to finish. The process of interviewing is somewhat old and out dated

There werent really any difficult questions. It is a basic job and does not require an in depth interview
